"A lone juror said Friday he can't convict a white former police officer who fatally shot a black man in South Carolina, and the jury said they want to continue deliberating.
The juror in a letter to the court said "I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict" against Michael Slager, a former patrolman who pulled over Walter Scott in North Charleston, and ended up shooting him as a bystander recorded the incident on video.
The jury foreperson said in a separate note to the court that it was only one juror who was "having issues," Circuit JudgeCliftonNewman said. The juror opposed to conviction said in the letter, "I cannot and will not change my mind," Newman said.
But the jury said it wanted to continue deliberating, and requested to return at 9 a.m. Monday. The jury said it would have questions at that time.
Slager was charged with murder in Scott's killing, although the jury was allowed to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter in addition to murder.
Earlier, the jury said at around 1 p.m. Friday that it had been unable to come to a conclusion, and Newman ordered them to resume deliberations.
The jury at that time sent a message to Newman asking to see a transcript of the testimony from the man who took cellphone video of Slager shooting Scott. Newman offered to let jurors listen to audio of the testimony, but they declined, saying they didn't believe it would change anything and said they couldn't reach a verdict.
"If you do not agree on a verdict, I must declare a mistrial," Newman said. "The same participants will come, and the same lawyers will likely ask basically the same questions, and get basically the same answers and we will go through this whole process again.””*

It's a decision so rare, it's historic. The Department of Justice has indicted the former police officer who killed Walter Scott on charges of violating civil rights.
"He will be charged with murder," North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Michael Slager shot and killed Scott in April 2015. Shortly after, Slager was charged with murder by a South Carolina grand jury. He has since posted bail and has been on house arrest since January.
Slager now faces life in prison in both state and federal cases, plus a possible $250,000 fine. Both of Slager's indictments are rare occurrences for police-involved shootings, but Slager's situation is especially rare.
The indictment of any officer in a police-involved shooting is uncommon. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and killed by police in 2015. For those deaths, 18 officers were charged.
And the Justice Department has a long history of declining to bring federal civil rights charges against police officers. According to an analysis by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, between 1995 and 2015, the DOJ rejected 96 percent of the more than 13,000 civil rights complaints against officers.
In fact, between 2005 and early 2015, only seven officers were in Slager's position, facing federal civil rights charges and state charges for police-involved shootings.
Two of those officers were tried and convicted for shooting a 92-year-old woman in Atlanta during a botched drug raid and planting evidence in the home. The other five were convicted for a shooting in the days following Hurricane Katrinaand for lying about the events that led to the shooting.

The Great Awakening Of African Americans - 2
Hmmmp... WE ARE HATED IN THIS LAND! OR IS THIS A PROPAGANDAVIDEO TO CREATE MORE RIOTS SO THEY CAN THEN LOCK US UP IN THOSE F.E.M.ACAMPS AND DECLARE MARSHALL LAW???
HOW POP'D IS YOUR PINEAL GLAND? CAUSE HALAK's IS WIDEOPENStory Via TheAtlantic
South Carolina prosecutors charged a police officer with murder on Tuesday, after video surfaced showing him shooting a fleeing, apparently unarmed man in the back multiple times, after a traffic stop.
The arrest of the North Charleston officer, Michael Slager, comes after a series of high-profile deaths of black Americans at the hands of police officers last year prompted a national debate over policing, racism, and the use of deadly force. Last month, President Obama outlined proposals for police reform based on a task force report commissioned after incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and New York. Slager, the 33-year-old police officer, is white; Walter Scott, the 50-year-old victim, was black.
According to local reports, Slager pulled over Scott for a broken tail light on his vehicle on Saturday afternoon. A police spokesman originally told media that Scott had taken the Taser from Slager and attempted to wield it against the officer, at which point Slager drew his weapon and shot Scott.
A video posted online by The New York Times, taken by a bystander on a cell phone, depicts a different scene. It shows Scott and Slager interacting in close proximity to one another in an open, grassy area. Scott then turns and begins to run away from the officer. As Scott flees, Slager pulls his gun from its holster and fires eight shots at Scott, who crumples to the ground near a tree. Slager walks toward him, speaking into his radio, tells an unresponsive Scott to put his hands behind his back, and then places him in handcuffs. No attempt to render first aid is depicted in the Times video until other officers arrive on the scene. Scott subsequently died of his injuries.
Slager reportedly told investigators that Scott had taken his Taser, giving the officer reason to fear for his life. Footage shows Slager saying, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.” Scott does not appear to be carrying a weapon of any kind in the video while fleeing from Slager. The video also shows Slager stooping to pick up an object near the scene of the original scuffle, and later tossing an object from his belt near Scott’s body.
Scott joins the list of unarmed black Americans whose deaths at the hands of police were recently documented on camera. In New York, bystanders filmed the death of Eric Garner, who repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe,” as multiple NYPD officers placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Grainy footage from a nearby surveillance camera captured the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was shot by Cleveland police in November while playing with a toy gun in a local park. A Staten Island jury declined to bring charges against NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death in December. Rice’s death remains under investigation.
South Carolina has also seen its own share of policing controversies in recent years. Last September, State Trooper Sean Groubert was fired and charged with aggravated assault and battery for shooting and wounding a black man who reached for his ID in a parked car. In 2011, local NAACP leaders accused North Charleston police of racial profiling during traffic stops, alleging that young black men were stopped four times as often as young white men. Calls to the local NAACP chapters on Tuesday night were not immediately returned... ~END~

A Judge has declared a mistrial after the jurors in the case involving Michael T. Slager, the police officer who murdered Walter L. Scott, could not agree on a verdict.

"CHARLESTON, S.C. — The trial of Michael T. Slager, the police officer whose videotaped killing of an unarmed black man staggered a nation already embroiled in a debate about police misconduct and racial bias in law enforcement, ended in a mistrial on Monday.
Judge Clifton B. Newman’s decision to halt the proceedings came three days after jurors signaled that they were within one vote of returning a guilty verdict against Mr. Slager, who could have been convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Walter L.

The outcome was disappointingly familiar to critics of police practices and conduct, and demonstrated the steep hurdles associated with prosecuting a police officer for a shooting while on duty.

Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.

North Charleston, South Carolina

North Charleston is the third-largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, with incorporated areas in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties.

Cenk Uygur

Cenk Kadir Uygur (/ˈdʒɛŋkˈjuːɡər/, Turkish pronunciation:[ˈdʒɛɲc ˈujɡur]; born March 21, 1970) is an American columnist, political commentator and activist. Uygur is the main host and co-founder of the American liberal/progressive political and social internet commentary program, The Young Turks (TYT) and the co-founder of the associated TYT Network. He worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C. and New York before beginning his career as a political commentator. As a young man, Uygur espoused socially conservative views, criticizing feminism, abortion, and affirmative action. He is now a progressive.

In addition to hosting TYT, Uygur appeared on MSNBC as a political commentator in 2010, later hosting a weeknight commentary show on the channel for nearly six months until being replaced by Al Sharpton. Shortly after leaving MSNBC, Uygur secured a show on Current TV that aired from December 5, 2011 to August 15, 2013. Uygur was from 2012 to 2013 the chief news officer of Current TV, succeeding Keith Olbermann following his departure from the cable television network until Current was acquired by Al Jazeera Media Network.

The juror in a letter to the court said "I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict" against Michael Slager, a former patrolman who pulled over Walter Scott in North Charleston, and ended up shooting him as a bystander recorded the incident on video.
The jury foreperson said in a separate note to the court that it was only one juror who was "having issues," Circuit JudgeCliftonNewman said. The juror opposed to conviction said in the letter, "I cannot and will not change my mind," Newman said.
But the jury said it wanted to continue deliberating, and requested to return at 9 a.m. Monday. The jury said it would have questions at that time.
Slager was charged with murder in Scott's killing, although the jury was allowed to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter in addition to murder.
Earlier, the jury said at around 1 p.m. Friday that it had been unable to come to a conclusion, and Newman ordered them to resume deliberations.
The jury at that time sent a message to Newman asking to see a transcript of the testimony from the man who took cellphone video of Slager shooting Scott. Newman offered to let jurors listen to audio of the testimony, but they declined, saying they didn't believe it would change anything and said they couldn't reach a verdict.
"If you do not agree on a verdict, I must declare a mistrial," Newman said. "The same participants will come, and the same lawyers will likely ask basically the same questions, and get basically the same answers and we will go through this whole process again.””*

The Officer Who Killed Walter Scott Is In A Historically Rare Position

It's a decision so rare, it's historic. The Department of Justice has indicted the former police officer who killed Walter Scott on charges of violating civil rights.
"He will be charged with murder," North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Michael Slager shot and killed Scott in April 2015. Shortly after, Slager was charged with murder by a South Carolina grand jury. He has since posted bail and has been on house arrest since January.
Slager now faces life in prison in both state and federal cases, plus a possible $250,000 fine. Both of Slager's indictments are rare occurrences for police-involved shootings, but Slager's situation is especially rare.
The indictment of any officer in a police-involved shooting is uncommon. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and killed by police in 2015. For those deaths, 18 officers were charged.
And the Justice Department has a long history of declining to bring federal civil rights charges against police officers. According to an analysis by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, between 1995 and 2015, the DOJ rejected 96 percent of the more than 13,000 civil rights complaints against officers.
In fact, between 2005 and early 2015, only seven officers were in Slager's position, facing federal civil rights charges and state charges for police-involved shootings.
Two of those officers were tried and convicted for shooting a 92-year-old woman in Atlanta during a botched drug raid and planting evidence in the home. The other five were convicted for a shooting in the days following Hurricane Katrinaand for lying about the events that led to the shooting.

The Great Awakening Of African Americans - 2
Hmmmp... WE ARE HATED IN THIS LAND! OR IS THIS A PROPAGANDAVIDEO TO CREATE MORE RIOTS SO THEY CAN THEN LOCK US UP IN THOSE F.E.M.ACAMPS AND DECLARE MARSHALL LAW???
HOW POP'D IS YOUR PINEAL GLAND? CAUSE HALAK's IS WIDEOPENStory Via TheAtlantic
South Carolina prosecutors charged a police officer with murder on Tuesday, after video surfaced showing him shooting a fleeing, apparently unarmed man in the back multiple times, after a traffic stop.
The arrest of the North Charleston officer, Michael Slager, comes after a series of high-profile deaths of black Americans at the hands of police officers last year prompted a national debate over policing, racism, and the use of deadly force. Last month, President Obama outlined proposals for police reform based on a task force report commissioned after incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and New York. Slager, the 33-year-old police officer, is white; Walter Scott, the 50-year-old victim, was black.
According to local reports, Slager pulled over Scott for a broken tail light on his vehicle on Saturday afternoon. A police spokesman originally told media that Scott had taken the Taser from Slager and attempted to wield it against the officer, at which point Slager drew his weapon and shot Scott.
A video posted online by The New York Times, taken by a bystander on a cell phone, depicts a different scene. It shows Scott and Slager interacting in close proximity to one another in an open, grassy area. Scott then turns and begins to run away from the officer. As Scott flees, Slager pulls his gun from its holster and fires eight shots at Scott, who crumples to the ground near a tree. Slager walks toward him, speaking into his radio, tells an unresponsive Scott to put his hands behind his back, and then places him in handcuffs. No attempt to render first aid is depicted in the Times video until other officers arrive on the scene. Scott subsequently died of his injuries.
Slager reportedly told investigators that Scott had taken his Taser, giving the officer reason to fear for his life. Footage shows Slager saying, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.” Scott does not appear to be carrying a weapon of any kind in the video while fleeing from Slager. The video also shows Slager stooping to pick up an object near the scene of the original scuffle, and later tossing an object from his belt near Scott’s body.
Scott joins the list of unarmed black Americans whose deaths at the hands of police were recently documented on camera. In New York, bystanders filmed the death of Eric Garner, who repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe,” as multiple NYPD officers placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Grainy footage from a nearby surveillance camera captured the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was shot by Cleveland police in November while playing with a toy gun in a local park. A Staten Island jury declined to bring charges against NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death in December. Rice’s death remains under investigation.
South Carolina has also seen its own share of policing controversies in recent years. Last September, State Trooper Sean Groubert was fired and charged with aggravated assault and battery for shooting and wounding a black man who reached for his ID in a parked car. In 2011, local NAACP leaders accused North Charleston police of racial profiling during traffic stops, alleging that young black men were stopped four times as often as young white men. Calls to the local NAACP chapters on Tuesday night were not immediately returned... ~END~
NOW LET ME SAY THIS AND BE CLEAR.... FCK THE N.A.A.C.P, FCK AL SHARPTON, FCK ANY OF THEM ra-COONS THAT DO NOTSPEAK FOR ME!!!

A Judge has declared a mistrial after the jurors in the case involving Michael T. Slager, the police officer who murdered Walter L. Scott, could not agree on a verdict.

"CHARLESTON, S.C. — The trial of Michael T. Slager, the police officer whose videotaped killing of an unarmed black man staggered a nation already embroiled in a debate about police misconduct and racial bias in law enforcement, ended in a mistrial on Monday.
Judge Clifton B. Newman’s decision to halt the proceedings came three days after jurors signaled that they were within one vote of returning a guilty verdict against Mr. Slager, who could have been convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Walter L. Scott. But on Monday, in a final note to Judge Newman, jurors said that “despite the best efforts of all members, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision.”
The outcome was disappointingly familiar to critics of police practices and conduct, and demonstrated the steep hurdles associated with prosecuting a police officer for a shooting while on duty. Although other cases involving claims of police misconduct have ended in mistrials and acquittals, few resonated as widely as this case in North Charleston, where Mr. Slager fired eight shots as Mr. Scott ran away."*

The Officer Who Killed Walter Scott Is In A Historically Rare Position

It's a decision so rare, it's historic. The Department of Justice has indicted the former police officer who killed Walter Scott on charges of violating civil rights.
"He will be charged with murder," North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Michael Slager shot and killed Scott in April 2015. Shortly after, Slager was charged with murder by a South Carolina grand jury. He has since posted bail and has been on house arrest since January.
Slager now faces life in prison in both state and federal cases, plus a possible $250,000 fine. Both of Slager's indictments are rare occurrences for police-involved shootings, but Slager's situation is especially rare.
The indictment of any officer in a police-involved shooting is uncommon. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and ki...

The jury foreperson said in a separate note to the court that it was only one juror who was "having issues," Circuit JudgeCliftonNewman said. The juror opposed to conviction said in the letter, "I cannot and will not change my mind," Newman said.
But the jury said it wanted to continue deliberating, and requested to return at 9 a.m. Monday. The jury said it would have questions at that time.
Slager was charged with murder in Scott's killing, although the jury was allowed to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter in addition to murder.
Earlier, the jury said at around 1 p.m. Friday that it had been unable to come to a conclusion, and Newman ordered them to resume deliberations.
The jury at that time sent a message to Newman asking to see a transcript of the testimony from the man who took cellphone video of Slager shooting Scott. Newman offered to let jurors listen to audio of the testimony, but they declined, saying they didn't believe it would change anything and said they couldn't reach a verdict.
"If you do not agree on a verdict, I must declare a mistrial," Newman said. "The same participants will come, and the same lawyers will likely ask basically the same questions, and get basically the same answers and we will go through this whole process again.””*

The Officer Who Killed Walter Scott Is In A Historically Rare Position

It's a decision so rare, it's historic. The Department of Justice has indicted the former police officer who killed Walter Scott on charges of violating civil rights.
"He will be charged with murder," North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Michael Slager shot and killed Scott in April 2015. Shortly after, Slager was charged with murder by a South Carolina grand jury. He has since posted bail and has been on house arrest since January.
Slager now faces life in prison in both state and federal cases, plus a possible $250,000 fine. Both of Slager's indictments are rare occurrences for police-involved shootings, but Slager's situation is especially rare.
The indictment of any officer in a police-involved shooting is uncommon. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and killed by police in 2015. For those deaths, 18 officers were charged.
And the Justice Department has a long history of declining to bring federal civil rights charges against police officers. According to an analysis by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, between 1995 and 2015, the DOJ rejected 96 percent of the more than 13,000 civil rights complaints against officers.
In fact, between 2005 and early 2015, only seven officers were in Slager's position, facing federal civil rights charges and state charges for police-involved shootings.
Two of those officers were tried and convicted for shooting a 92-year-old woman in Atlanta during a botched drug raid and planting evidence in the home. The other five were convicted for a shooting in the days following Hurricane Katrinaand for lying about the events that led to the shooting.

The Great Awakening Of African Americans - 2
Hmmmp... WE ARE HATED IN THIS LAND! OR IS THIS A PROPAGANDAVIDEO TO CREATE MORE RIOTS SO THEY CAN THEN LOCK US UP IN THOSE F.E.M.ACAMPS AND DECLARE MARSHALL LAW???
HOW POP'D IS YOUR PINEAL GLAND? CAUSE HALAK's IS WIDEOPENStory Via TheAtlantic
South Carolina prosecutors charged a police officer with murder on Tuesday, after video surfaced showing him shooting a fleeing, apparently unarmed man in the back multiple times, after a traffic stop.
The arrest of the North Charleston officer, Michael Slager, comes after a series of high-profile deaths of black Americans at the hands of police officers last year prompted a national debate over policing, racism, and the use of deadly force. Last month, President Obama outlined proposals for police reform based on a task force report commissioned after incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and New York. Slager, the 33-year-old police officer, is white; Walter Scott, the 50-year-old victim, was black.
According to local reports, Slager pulled over Scott for a broken tail light on his vehicle on Saturday afternoon. A police spokesman originally told media that Scott had taken the Taser from Slager and attempted to wield it against the officer, at which point Slager drew his weapon and shot Scott.
A video posted online by The New York Times, taken by a bystander on a cell phone, depicts a different scene. It shows Scott and Slager interacting in close proximity to one another in an open, grassy area. Scott then turns and begins to run away from the officer. As Scott flees, Slager pulls his gun from its holster and fires eight shots at Scott, who crumples to the ground near a tree. Slager walks toward him, speaking into his radio, tells an unresponsive Scott to put his hands behind his back, and then places him in handcuffs. No attempt to render first aid is depicted in the Times video until other officers arrive on the scene. Scott subsequently died of his injuries.
Slager reportedly told investigators that Scott had taken his Taser, giving the officer reason to fear for his life. Footage shows Slager saying, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.” Scott does not appear to be carrying a weapon of any kind in the video while fleeing from Slager. The video also shows Slager stooping to pick up an object near the scene of the original scuffle, and later tossing an object from his belt near Scott’s body.
Scott joins the list of unarmed black Americans whose deaths at the hands of police were recently documented on camera. In New York, bystanders filmed the death of Eric Garner, who repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe,” as multiple NYPD officers placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Grainy footage from a nearby surveillance camera captured the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was shot by Cleveland police in November while playing with a toy gun in a local park. A Staten Island jury declined to bring charges against NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death in December. Rice’s death remains under investigation.
South Carolina has also seen its own share of policing controversies in recent years. Last September, State Trooper Sean Groubert was fired and charged with aggravated assault and battery for shooting and wounding a black man who reached for his ID in a parked car. In 2011, local NAACP leaders accused North Charleston police of racial profiling during traffic stops, alleging that young black men were stopped four times as often as young white men. Calls to the local NAACP chapters on Tuesday night were not immediately returned... ~END~

A Judge has declared a mistrial after the jurors in the case involving Michael T. Slager, the police officer who murdered Walter L. Scott, could not agree on a verdict. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks discuss another example of injustice after a police shooting. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"CHARLESTON, S.C. — The trial of Michael T. Slager, the police officer whose videotaped killing of an unarmed black man staggered a nation already embroiled in a debate about police misconduct and racial bias in law enforcement, ended in a mistrial on Monday.
Judge Clifton B. Newman’s decision to halt the proceedings came three days after jurors signaled that they were within one vote of returning a guilty verdict against Mr. Slager, who could have been convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Walter L. Scott. But on Monday, in a final note to Judge Newman, jurors said that “despite the best efforts of all members, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision.”
The outcome was disappointingly familiar to critics of police practices and conduct, and demonstrated the steep hurdles associated with prosecuting a police officer for a shooting while on duty. Although other cases involving claims of police misconduct have ended in mistrials and acquittals, few resonated as widely as this case in North Charleston, where Mr. Slager fired eight shots as Mr. Scott ran away."*

BREAKING: Cop Who Murdered Walter Scott Walks Free

Former police officer Michael Slager will remain a free man after one jury member couldn’t "consider a guilty verdict" in the Walter Scott murder trial. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich, and Aida Rodriguez, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/join
"A lone juror said Friday he can't convict a white former police officer who fatally shot a black man in South Carolina, and the jury said they want to continue deliberating.
The juror in a letter to the court said "I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict" against Michael Slager, a former patrolman who pulled over Walter Scott in North Charleston, and ended up shooting him as a bystander recorded the incident on video.
The jury foreperson said in a separate note to the court that it was only one juror who was "having issues," Circuit JudgeCliftonNewman said. The juror opposed to conviction said in the letter, "I cannot and will not change my mind," Newman said.
But the jury said it wanted to continue deliberating, and requested to return at 9 a.m. Monday. The jury said it would have questions at that time.
Slager was charged with murder in Scott's killing, although the jury was allowed to consider a lesser charge of manslaughter in addition to murder.
Earlier, the jury said at around 1 p.m. Friday that it had been unable to come to a conclusion, and Newman ordered them to resume deliberations.
The jury at that time sent a message to Newman asking to see a transcript of the testimony from the man who took cellphone video of Slager shooting Scott. Newman offered to let jurors listen to audio of the testimony, but they declined, saying they didn't believe it would change anything and said they couldn't reach a verdict.
"If you do not agree on a verdict, I must declare a mistrial," Newman said. "The same participants will come, and the same lawyers will likely ask basically the same questions, and get basically the same answers and we will go through this whole process again.””*

The Officer Who Killed Walter Scott Is In A Historically Rare Position

It's a decision so rare, it's historic. The Department of Justice has indicted the former police officer who killed Walter Scott on charges of violating civil rights.
"He will be charged with murder," North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Michael Slager shot and killed Scott in April 2015. Shortly after, Slager was charged with murder by a South Carolina grand jury. He has since posted bail and has been on house arrest since January.
Slager now faces life in prison in both state and federal cases, plus a possible $250,000 fine. Both of Slager's indictments are rare occurrences for police-involved shootings, but Slager's situation is especially rare.
The indictment of any officer in a police-involved shooting is uncommon. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and killed by police in 2015. For those deaths, 18 officers were charged.
And the Justice Department has a long history of declining to bring federal civil rights charges against police officers. According to an analysis by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, between 1995 and 2015, the DOJ rejected 96 percent of the more than 13,000 civil rights complaints against officers.
In fact, between 2005 and early 2015, only seven officers were in Slager's position, facing federal civil rights charges and state charges for police-involved shootings.
Two of those officers were tried and convicted for shooting a 92-year-old woman in Atlanta during a botched drug raid and planting evidence in the home. The other five were convicted for a shooting in the days following Hurricane Katrinaand for lying about the events that led to the shooting.

HOW POP'D IS YOUR PINEAL GLAND? CAUSE HALAK's IS WIDEOPENStory Via TheAtlantic
South Carolina prosecutors charged a police officer with murder on Tuesday, after video surfaced showing him shooting a fleeing, apparently unarmed man in the back multiple times, after a traffic stop.
The arrest of the North Charleston officer, Michael Slager, comes after a series of high-profile deaths of black Americans at the hands of police officers last year prompted a national debate over policing, racism, and the use of deadly force. Last month, President Obama outlined proposals for police reform based on a task force report commissioned after incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and New York. Slager, the 33-year-old police officer, is white; Walter Scott, the 50-year-old victim, was black.
According to local reports, Slager pulled over Scott for a broken tail light on his vehicle on Saturday afternoon. A police spokesman originally told media that Scott had taken the Taser from Slager and attempted to wield it against the officer, at which point Slager drew his weapon and shot Scott.
A video posted online by The New York Times, taken by a bystander on a cell phone, depicts a different scene. It shows Scott and Slager interacting in close proximity to one another in an open, grassy area. Scott then turns and begins to run away from the officer. As Scott flees, Slager pulls his gun from its holster and fires eight shots at Scott, who crumples to the ground near a tree. Slager walks toward him, speaking into his radio, tells an unresponsive Scott to put his hands behind his back, and then places him in handcuffs. No attempt to render first aid is depicted in the Times video until other officers arrive on the scene. Scott subsequently died of his injuries.
Slager reportedly told investigators that Scott had taken his Taser, giving the officer reason to fear for his life. Footage shows Slager saying, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.” Scott does not appear to be carrying a weapon of any kind in the video while fleeing from Slager. The video also shows Slager stooping to pick up an object near the scene of the original scuffle, and later tossing an object from his belt near Scott’s body.
Scott joins the list of unarmed black Americans whose deaths at the hands of police were recently documented on camera. In New York, bystanders filmed the death of Eric Garner, who repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe,” as multiple NYPD officers placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Grainy footage from a nearby surveillance camera captured the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was shot by Cleveland police in November while playing with a toy gun in a local park. A Staten Island jury declined to bring charges against NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death in December. Rice’s death remains under investigation.
South Carolina has also seen its own share of policing controversies in recent years. Last September, State Trooper Sean Groubert was fired and charged with aggravated assault and battery for shooting and wounding a black man who reached for his ID in a parked car. In 2011, local NAACP leaders accused North Charleston police of racial profiling during traffic stops, alleging that young black men were stopped four times as often as young white men. Calls to the local NAACP chapters on Tuesday night were not immediately returned... ~END~
NOW LET ME SAY THIS AND BE CLEAR.... FCK THE N.A.A.C.P, FCK AL SHARPTON, FCK ANY OF THEM ra-COONS THAT DO NOTSPEAK FOR ME!!!
GET READY SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS (Y'SRA'EL)

It shows Scott and Slager interacting in close proximity to one another in an open, grassy area. Scott then turns and begins to run away from the officer. As Scott flees, Slager pulls his gun from its holster and fires eight shots at Scott, who crumples to the ground near a tree. Slager walks toward him, speaking into his radio, tells an unresponsive Scott to put his hands behind his back, and then places him in handcuffs. No attempt to render first aid is depicted in the Times video until other officers arrive on the scene. Scott subsequently died of his injuries.
Slager reportedly told investigators that Scott had taken his Taser, giving the officer reason to fear for his life. Footage shows Slager saying, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser.” Scott does not appear to be carrying a weapon of any kind in the video while fleeing from Slager. The video also shows Slager stooping to pick up an object near the scene of the original scuffle, and later tossing an object from his belt near Scott’s body.
Scott joins the list of unarmed black Americans whose deaths at the hands of police were recently documented on camera. In New York, bystanders filmed the death of Eric Garner, who repeatedly shouted, “I can’t breathe,” as multiple NYPD officers placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Grainy footage from a nearby surveillance camera captured the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old who was shot by Cleveland police in November while playing with a toy gun in a local park. A Staten Island jury declined to bring charges against NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo for Garner’s death in December. Rice’s death remains under investigation.
South Carolina has also seen its own share of policing controversies in recent years. Last September, State Trooper Sean Groubert was fired and charged with aggravated assault and battery for shooting and wounding a black man who reached for his ID in a parked car. In 2011, local NAACP leaders accused North Charleston police of racial profiling during traffic stops, alleging that young black men were stopped four times as often as young white men. Calls to the local NAACP chapters on Tuesday night were not immediately returned... ~END~

Judge Sets Killer Cop Free. NO JUSTICE For Walter Scott

A Judge has declared a mistrial after the jurors in the case involving Michael T. Slager, the police officer who murdered Walter L. Scott, could not agree on a verdict. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks discuss another example of injustice after a police shooting. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"CHARLESTON, S.C. — The trial of Michael T. Slager, the police officer whose videotaped killing of an unarmed black man staggered a nation already embroiled in a debate about police misconduct and racial bias in law enforcement, ended in a mistrial on Monday.
Judge Clifton B. Newman’s decision to halt the proceedings came three days after jurors signaled that they were within one vote of returning a guilty verdict against Mr. Slager, who could have been convicted of murder or voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Walter L. Scott. But on Monday, in a final note to Judge Newman, jurors said that “despite the best efforts of all members, we are unable to come to a unanimous decision.”
The outcome was disappointingly familiar to critics of police practices and conduct, and demonstrated the steep hurdles associated with prosecuting a police officer for a shooting while on duty. Although other cases involving claims of police misconduct have ended in mistrials and acquittals, few resonated as widely as this case in North Charleston, where Mr. Slager fired eight shots as Mr. Scott ran away."*
